yes, I've used RH 7.0 on a 2450 with PERC2 RAID-5; the 2.2.16 kernel has a
driver fix for the PERC2 RAID controller; you can also install RH 6.2 (even
6.1) and bump up the kernel version to 2.2.16 - did that as well and I am now
running RH 6.1 with kernel 2.2.16-3 from RedHat without any problems.

yes, but it's tricky; you would need to create a driver floppy and then
install linux using
linux dd
I do not know the exact format of a RedHat driver floppy, however....

yes, you will need to compile your own kernel with RAID5 support built into

The G400 (and G200) works without problems; for the G450 (and G250) you'll
need the Matrox drivers, which are available at http://www.matrox.com. With
those, it *works* but it did not work very well for me (could not go beyond
1280x1024, etc).

Subject: Mandrake 7.2 Modules compilation
Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 11:47:37 +0100
I have a linux Mandrake 7.2 distribution. I use the secure kernel provided
by Mandrake. But when I want to compile a new module for this kernel. I
have a kernel-module version mistmatch. And the kernel refuse to load the
module and says it has been compiled for the 2.2.17-21mdk kernel whereas I
use the 2.2.17-21mdksecure.
Does someone knows how to select in the source folder the secure kernel ?
I suppose that I could setup and recompile everything but I would like to
continue to use this kernel which works well. Is there a configuration file
to load ?
Thanks.

I found the problem. The IP: accounting option was removed from
kernel 2.1.102 on.
To make ipac work you can not use the RH RPM file. "It is setup for the
old kernel" You must make the ipac system from the source files
ipac-1.10.tar.gz

What does it report then?
This is linux fdisk, right?
linux doesn't ever use CHS translation, only LBA.
Linux doesn't trust the BIOS, and scans the bus itself.
What kernel version does SuSE6.3 use?
If less then 2.2.14 IIRC, discs larger then 20G are not supported

Approx 20G by any chance?

You cannot use CHS translation to describe a a disc over 8G
LBA translation must be used (You can fake calculate the CHS values
ofcourse)

If you mount it as msdos, you get 8.3 filenames.
Mount it as vfat if you don't like this.

Strange. There's a default order in which mounts are tried
This is specified in /etc/filesystems
Or do you mean something else with "no options". Are you using the fstab
entry

Not necessary. You mount it as you please. You should however read
manpages.
`man mount` and `man mkfs` are very usefull. If you create a 8.3 dos FS
you can never
use long filenames. There are options with mkfs though that enable you
to make a VFAT fs.

Not possible. The FAT tables are rewritten. Although the data will still
be there, it will be inaccesible
You probably recieved an error of somekind, telling you that the mkfs
failed.

No you make mistakes. These are problems specific to you.

`uname -a`
While you are at it, run `fdisk -l /dev/hda` too.
I'd like to see why and how fdisk fails, perhaps then I can help you
further.

Assuming that only the partition table is damaged, and that the
partition covered the entire disk, it is just a matter of deleting
wrong entries in the partition table, and make a new entry covering
the entire disk.
To obtain more information, you can get Findpart version 3.96 in
http://inet.uni2.dk/~svolaf/fpart396.zip
and do from DOS or Windows:
findpart all reiser fp.txt
and insert (not attach) the output into a follow-up to this message.

Hi,
Does anybody have experience in setting up RAID in Linux using HPT370
chipset produced by HighPoint Technologies?
I can only find a Linux patch from its website
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/ , but it supports only non-RAID harddisk.
Is there any solution to get RAID worked?

Hello,
I am currently trying to impliment RSA SecurID
on a linux box.
I can run sdshell and the authentication works
properly. HOWEVER, if I simply replace the shell, the user
is required to enter in *BOTH* the unix password *AND* the
securid passcode, putting the password over the network.
Does anyone have any ideas around this, or have done this
in a different manner ?
Any help would be appreciative.

kernel: 2.2.16 + reiserfs patch
* Recompiled my kernel to use frambuffer.
* Modified /etc/lilo.conf to add vga=ASK then rerun lilo, then reboot.
* After booting, it tells me to hit Enter to get a list of modes or
space to continue.
* Hit Enter, specify any of the modes ( currently using 309 ).
* Mode DOES change ( thinner fonts, more columns and rows of text than
before ) ... but I get no penguin logo.
I am using an S3 Virge/GX2 4MB AGP card, but I cant remember if this is
VESA 2.0 compliant. ( No complete info from S3's site )
I think it is, because I was able to specify / change the graphics

hello to all,
First need some booting help.
I have a Celeron and an ABIT B6 motherboard with 128M RAM and tho 13.5GB
HD's on IRQ14, one for win and one divided at one partition win and one
linux. (/usr)
I have a CD-RW as master on IRQ15 and a third 2GB HD as slave, with a 128M
swap partition, a 1M boot and /.
If I put LILO on the first hd's MBR, it block at LI. Boots well from floppy
(not LILO).
Maybe the problem is my not having configured the HD in IRQ15 in the BIOS
(Linux reads it anyway and under Win I cannot make the disk and the CD-RW
live together, tried all master/slave configuration, if I give the HD, it
stops seeing the CD, and one burned already).
Once booted works fine.
Second, i cannot get the sytem read the mem=128M directive in the booting.
Changes the lilo.conf on the floppy in /etc, but useless, have to give il
everytime at the bootprompt (works well).
I would appreciate some help
Thanks

## Now, the real work. This assumes you have copied your
## .config and .config.old
## files from the source directory of your previous kernel install, and have
## done 'make oldconfig' in the new source directory and answered all the
## questions, and then do a 'make xconfig' to check/change anything you wanted
## to
## First, set the version string, modify this to your kernel-version
VER=2.4.0-ac4
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
cp -f arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-$VER
make modules
## Get rid of any old backups else depmod gets a tummy ache
rm -fR /lib/modules/$VER.old
## Move old modules to a backup dir
mv -f /lib/modules/$VER /lib/modules/$VER.old
make modules_install
## Overwrite existing /boot/System.map-$VER if it exists
cp -f System.map /boot/System.map-$VER
#####
# The following 4 lines are now built into the kernel! Works great.
#cd ../emu10k1
#make clean
#make
#make install
cd /boot
### Remove old links or files
rm -f System.map
### And link the new System.map in
ln -s System.map-$VER System.map
#####
# Here, uncomment these 4 lines to install i2c device stuff for mobo monitoring
# cd /usr/src/i2c-2.5.1
# make clean
# make
# make install
#####
#####
# And uncomment these 4 to install the rest of the lm_sensors kit
# cd /usr/src/lm_sensors-2.5.1
# make clean
# make
# make install
#####
## when changing versions, this gives false errors but the reboot
## is clean
/sbin/depmod -a $VER
## Make sure that before the script gets this far,that you have your
## /etc/lilo.conf file up to date. Watch for echo'd errors here
/sbin/lilo -v
## All done! reboot and chose your kernel at the lilo prompt

Compile the kernel. Then `chmod +r /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h'.
If you don't want to mess with compiling the kernel, I expect you can
get away with sticking this text in version.h by hand:
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.2.17"
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 131601
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))
It's just the text from my current one. You can change the 17 to 18 if
you want :-) (hmm, I must remember to upgrade...), but I think dosemu
should be happy with it as-is. Don't forget the chmod though.

Subject: Mandrake 7.2 / CUPS / LPD and dot matrix printers
Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 14:55:44 -0000
Hi !
On my network i've the printers :
HP LJ5 Postcript
Star ZA-250 (Dot Matrix)
Oki Microline 590 Elite (Dot Matrix)
Using CUPS on HP LJ5 is perfect ... no prob
On Star (using CUPS IBM proprinterII driver), the test page, is good enough
for a dot matrix, but when trying to print a text file from command line
(lpr -P lp1 text-file), the firsth column desapears, i presume that is
because the defenitions on the margins ... it is ?
On Oki (using CUPS oki 182 driver), the test page, is not good and it isn't
really bad, but when trying to print a text file from command line (lpr -P
lp1 text-file), the firsth column desapears, i presume that is because the
defenitions on the margins ... it is also ?
How can i bypass the cups driver and print the old fashion way to the dot
matrix printers (w/o the postscript) and print directly to dot matrix
printers without desinstaling the cup's stuff ?
Thank you
Paulo
